The guiding principle behind everything we make at Volvo, therefore, is – and must remain – safety.” Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larson, the founders of Volvo. PREVIOUS PAGE INDEX EXIT PRINT DISPLAY NEXT PAGE 8 THE AWD SYSTEM. Drive is continuously distributed between the front and rear wheels by the electronically controlled all-wheel drive-system (AWD). The front wheels normally get 95% of all driving force. As the situation dictates, however, up to 70% of this force is redirected at lightning speed to the rear wheels. The system responds extremely quickly, making it possible to balance understeering and oversteering tendencies with exceptional precision. For example, during rapid acceleration or fast cornering, drive is redistributed seamlessly between the THE BRAKES.

  • Volvo R Press Kit 2002
    The Volvo S60 R and V70 R: Combining Traditional Functionality With I nnovations ln Performance I ntelligent Functionality is a hallmark of the Volvo brand. With the new Volvo S60 R and Volvo V70 R, the driving experience really takes off thanks to unique integrated technologies thinking outside of the box. The S60 R is a true performance sedan, while the V70 R is an exceptional per- formance wagon. "The Volvo `R' cars are built from the inside out with safety at its core," says Hans Nilsson, Volvo Car Corporation, R Car Line Manager. "Our design provides control and excitement, without compromise." The `R' cars' extremely sophisticated technology is controlled with a rather sim- ple human interaction. The interface between driver and machine is easily acces- sible through a very smart, functional package of three settings - Comfort, Sport, and Advanced Sport. With the touch of a button, the driver can transform the `R' car from the relaxing ride of a day out with the family to the exhilarating experience that comes from cornering with agility. "The technology is seamless so the driver can immerse themselves in the pure joy of control and performance," said Nilsson. The `R' concept is nothing new to Volvo. Beginning in 1995 with its introduction of a bright yellow T -5R wagon, Volvo has used the mark as an enhancement of driving pleasure. The mission of the new `R' cars is to reinforce "driving excitement" as a Volvo virtue. "We have always incorporated leading edge technology into our `R' cars," states Nilsson, "with the level of technology currently available, and with our inno- vative applications, ...we feel that we can send a very strong message about the Volvo brand." The new Volvo S60 R and Volvo V70 R will appear in showrooms during the spring of 2003.

During this time we’ve learned a lot about people and cars. One of the things we’ve discovered is that although safety is enhanced through the interaction of sophisticated systems, it is most importantly the product of the relation- ship between car and driver. This bond is where dynamic driving begins. This insight has helped us to develop cars that are exhilarating to drive, yet safer than ever before. The Volvo S60 R and V70 R are two such cars – each designed to provide the world’s most demanding drivers with a vehicle worthy of their attention. In both instances, performance, safety and luxury are opportu- nities – not impositions. Capability is ready and waiting, realized by the technology and your driving desire. Volvo R is about making great perfor- mance possible, and everyday motoring more enjoyable. Maybe that’s R – FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE CAPABILITY why, even after all these years, we still find safety so exciting.

Project title Market conditions for biogas vehicles Address P.O. Box 5302 SE-400 14 Göteborg Project sponsor Swedish Road Administration Telephone +46 (0)31-725 62 00 Author Tomas Rydberg, Mohammed Belhaj, Lisa Bolin, Maria Lindblad, Åke Sjödin, Christina Wolf Title and subtitle of the report Market conditions for biogas vehicles Summary With a present share of biofuel used in the Swedish road transport sector of 5.2%, the opportunity for reaching the binding target of 10% by 2020 seem promising. It is both likely and desirable that biogas vehicles may make a significant contribution to fulfill Sweden’s obligation under the biofuels directive. It is likely because the stock of biogas (bi-fuel/CNG) vehicles in Sweden is increasing, as is the supply and demand of biogas. It is desirable, because biogas use in the road transport sector has not only climate benefits, but also benefits from an environmental (e.g. improved air quality due to lower emissions of regulated and unregulated air pollutants) and socio-economic (e.g. domestic production, employment) point of view.

  • HLDI Bulletin | Vol 32, No
    Highway Loss Data Institute Bulletin Vol. 32, No. 1 : April 2015 Volvo City Safety loss experience – a long-term update This Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) report updates two prior bulletins on the Volvo City Safety system. Benefits have been consistent across all three reports, and for the first time pooled estimates have been calculated that combine the XC60 and S60 results. This com- bined, or pooled, estimate is the best estimate of a general effect for City Safety. The earlier HLDI studies reported that Volvo XC60 and S60 models with City Safety, a low-speed collision avoidance technology, had lower loss frequencies for property damage liability, bodily injury liability, and collision coverages than similar models without such a system. In the latest study, updated results for the XC60 and S60 confirm that City Safety is reducing losses substantially. Property damage liability loss frequency was estimated to be 14 percent lower for the XC60 than for relevant control vehicles and 15 percent lower for the S60. Collision claim frequencies were reduced by an estimated 21 percent for the XC60 and 12 percent for the S60. Both vehicles also showed reductions in collision claim severity and overall losses for collision and property damage liability. Under bodily injury liability, claim frequency was 28 percent lower for the XC60 and 31 percent lower for the S60. This report also examines the effect City Safety is having on personal injury protection (PIP) and medical payment (MedPay) coverages. Under PIP, claim frequency was 21 percent lower for the XC60 and 23 percent lower for the S60.
